Södra Promenaden

Södra Promenaden is a tree-lined boulevard running through Norrköping with approximately 1800 lime trees of varying ages. The street connects different parts of the city and features cafes, restaurants, and shops along its length.

The street developed as a historic ensemble and received protected heritage status in 1994. This designation ensures the long-term preservation of its architectural features and green spaces.

The boulevard serves as a gathering spot where locals and visitors walk, sit at outdoor tables, and experience the rhythm of city life. The lime trees create the distinctive identity that makes this street feel different from other parts of Norrköping.

Visitors can easily walk this route as cafes and restaurants offer places to stop and rest throughout. The area is well-served by public transportation and located near other city attractions.

Since 2007, individual trees have been recorded and regularly monitored to track their health. These inventories reveal that a diverse ecosystem thrives beneath the canopy, including bats and numerous insect species.
